ok, dunno how you go about trapping those ones as they need fresh
blood, but they can appear at anytime of the year, calling them march
flies might be a bit misleading, they call them horse flies also. but
as for trapping them if you figure something out let the gardeners
know, reckon you would have to stop them at their breeding site.

they seem to hang about in pairs in a territory, i find once i have
squished 2 then there is no more until the next pair move in. maybe do
some research on them?

I found some of those long sticky hang strips and now they hang over the
dogs beds
should do the trick as I rather want to get the wounds healed
